Heal the wound...

Tuesday, August 19, 2008

Just wanted to take a moment and share an amazing devotion I read yesterday from Sarah Young's book, Jesus Calling:

Expect to encounter adversity in your life, remembering that you live in a deeply fallen world. Stop trying to find a way that circumvents difficulties. The main problem with an easy life is that it masks your need for Me. When you become a Christian, I infused My very Life into you, empowering you to live on a supernatural plane by depending on Me.

Anticipate coming face-to-face with impossibilities: situations totally beyond your ability to handle. This awareness of your inadequacy is not something you should try to evade. It is precisely where I want you - the best place to encounter Me in My Glory and Power. When you see armies of problems marching toward you, cry out to Me! Allow Me to fight for you. Watch Me working on your behalf, as you rest in the shadow of My Almighty Presence.

About Me

Heather Conrad

I'm just a Mom who feels privileged to have an opportunity to serve and to pour into the lives of my amazing husband Aaron, and our three precious blessings. Our son Austin is 9, loves basketball and has such a tender and big-brother-protective heart. Our daughter Emma is 7 and has a spirit as big as her heart, hard to contain all that creativity inside. Brynn is our 5 year old. Don't let her little frame fool you, she is a spunky gal, keeps us all laughing. If there is a spare moment in the day, you'll either catch me with a book, or hitting the streets on a jog with Jesus.

Life Verse:

12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.-Philippians 3:12-14
